Liquid-crystal medium containing monofluoroterphenyl compounds

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium based on a mixture of polar compounds of positive or negative dielectric anisotropy which is characterised in that it comprises one or more compounds of the general formula I  
                 
in which 
         R 1  and R 2  are each, independently of one another, identically or differently, H, an alkyl radical having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted, monosubstituted by CN or CF 3  or at least monosubstituted by halogen, where, in addition, one or more CH 2  groups in these radicals may each, independently of one another, be replaced by —O—, —S—,  
                 
—CH═CH—, —C≡C—, —CO—, —CO—O—, —O—CO— or —O—CO—O— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another, to the use thereof for electro-optical purposes, and to electro-optical display devices which contain this medium.

The present invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium, to the use thereof for electro-optical purposes, and to electro-optical display devices which contain this medium.

Liquid crystals are used principally as dielectrics in display devices, since the optical properties of such substances can be modified by an applied voltage. Electro-optical devices based on liquid crystals are extremely well known to the person skilled in the art and can be based on various effects. Examples of such devices are cells having dynamic scattering, DAP (deformation of aligned phases) cells, guest/host cells, TN cells having a twisted nematic structure, STN (supertwisted nematic) cells, SBE (super-birefringence effect) cells and OMI (optical mode interference) cells. The commonest display devices are based on the Schadt-Helfrich effect and have a twisted nematic structure.

The liquid-crystal materials must have good chemical and thermal stability and good stability to electric fields and electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, the liquid-crystal materials should have low viscosity and produce short addressing times, low threshold voltages and high contrast in the cells.

They should furthermore have a suitable mesophase, for example a nematic or cholesteric mesophase for the above-mentioned cells, at the usual operating temperatures, i.e. in the broadest possible range above and below room temperature. Since liquid crystals are generally used as mixtures of a plurality of components, it is important that the components are readily miscible with one another. Further properties, such as the electrical conductivity, the dielectric anisotropy and the optical anisotropy, have to satisfy various requirements depending on the cell type and area of application. For example, materials for cells having a twisted nematic structure should have positive dielectric anisotropy and low electrical conductivity.

For example, for matrix liquid-crystal displays with integrated non-linear elements for switching individual pixels (MLC displays), media having large positive dielectric anisotropy, broad nematic phases, relatively low birefringence, very high specific resistance, good UV and temperature stability and low vapour pressure are desired.

Matrix liquid-crystal displays of this type are known. Non-linear elements which can be used for individual switching of the individual pixels are, for example, active elements (i.e. transistors). The term “active matrix” is then used, where a distinction is made between two types:

-   1. MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) or other diodes on a silicon     wafer as substrate. -   2. Thin-film transistors (TFTs) on a glass plate as substrate.

The use of single-crystal silicon as substrate material restricts the display size, since even modular assembly of various part-displays results in problems at the joints.

In the case of the more promising type 2, which is preferred, the electro-optical effect used is usually the TN effect. A distinction is made between two technologies: TFTs comprising compound semiconductors, such as, for example, CdSe, or TFTs based on polycrystalline or amorphous silicon. Intensive work is being carried out worldwide on the latter technology.

The TFT matrix is applied to the inside of one glass plate of the display, while the other glass plate carries the transparent counterelectrode on its inside. Compared with the size of the pixel electrode, the TFT is very small and has virtually no adverse effect on the image. This technology can also be extended to fully colour-capable displays, in which a mosaic of red, green and blue filters is arranged in such a way that a filter element is opposite each switchable pixel.

The TFT displays usually operate as TN cells with crossed polarisers in transmission and are back-lit.

The term MLC displays here covers any matrix display with integrated non-linear elements, i.e., besides the active matrix, also displays with passive elements, such as varistors or diodes (MIM=metal-insulator-metal).

MLC displays of this type are particularly suitable for TV applications (for example pocket TVs) and for high-information displays for computer applications (for example laptops) and in automobile and aircraft construction. Besides problems regarding the angle dependence of the contrast and the response times, difficulties also arise in MLC displays due to insufficiently high specific resistance of the liquid-crystal mixtures [TOGASHI, S., SEKIGUCHI, K., TANABE, H., YAMAMOTO, E., SORIMACHI, K., TAJIMA, E., WATANABE, H., SHIMIZU, H., Proc. Eurodisplay 84, September 1984: A 210-288 Matrix LCD Controlled by Double Stage Diode Rings, p. 141 ff, Paris; STROMER, M., Proc. Eurodisplay 84, September 1984: Design of Thin Film Transistors for Matrix Addressing of Television Liquid Crystal Displays, p. 145 ff, Paris]. With decreasing resistance, the contrast of an MLC display deteriorates, and the problem of after-image elimination may occur. Since the specific resistance of the liquid-crystal mixture generally drops over the life of an MLC display owing to interaction with the interior surfaces of the display, a high (initial) resistance is very important in order to achieve acceptable service lives. In particular in the case of low-volt mixtures, it was hitherto impossible to achieve very high specific resistance values. It is furthermore important that the specific resistance exhibits the smallest possible increase with increasing temperature and after heating and/or UV exposure. The low-temperature properties of the mixtures from the prior art are also particularly disadvantageous. It is demanded that no crystallisation and/or smectic phases occur, even at low temperatures, and the temperature dependence of the viscosity is as low as possible. The known MLC displays do not meet these requirements.

There thus continues to be a great demand for MLC displays having very high specific resistance at the same time as a large working-temperature range, short response times even at low temperatures and low threshold voltage which do not have the said disadvantages, or only do so to a reduced extent.

In addition to liquid-crystal displays which use backlighting, i.e. are operated transmissively and if desired transflectively, reflective liquid-crystal displays are also particularly interesting. These reflective liquid-crystal displays use the ambient light for information display. They thus consume significantly less energy than back-lit liquid-crystal displays having a corresponding size and resolution. Since the TN effect is characterised by very good contrast, reflective displays of this type can even be read well in bright ambient conditions. This is already known of simple reflective TN displays, as used, for example, in watches and pocket calculators. However, the principle can also be applied to high-quality, higher-resolution active matrix-addressed displays, such as, for example, TFT displays. Here, as already in the transmissive TFT-TN displays which are generally conventional, the use of liquid crystals of low birefringence (Δn) is necessary in order to achieve low optical retardation (d·Δn). This low optical retardation results in usually acceptable low viewing-angle dependence of the contrast (cf. German Patent 30 22 818). In reflective displays, the use of liquid crystals of low birefringence is even more important than in transmissive displays since the effective layer thickness through which the light passes is approximately twice as large in reflective displays as in transmissive displays having the same layer thickness.

The advantages of reflective displays over transmissive displays, besides the lower power consumption (since backlighting is unnecessary), are the space saving, which results in a very small physical depth, and the reduction in problems due to temperature gradients caused by different degrees of heating by the backlighting.

In TN (Schadt-Helfrich) cells, media are desired which facilitate the following advantages in the cells:

-   extended nematic phase range (in particular at low temperatures), -   the ability to switch at extremely low temperatures (outdoor use,     automobiles, avionics), -   elevated resistance against UV radiation (longer life), -   low rotational viscosities, -   low threshold (addressing) voltage and -   high birefringence for thinner layer thicknesses and thus shorter     response times.

The media available from the prior art do not allow these advantages to be achieved while simultaneously retaining the other parameters.

In the case of supertwisted (STN) cells, media are desired which enable greater multiplexability and/or lower threshold voltages and/or broader nematic phase ranges (in particular at low temperatures). To this end, a further widening of the available parameter latitude (clearing point, smectic-nematic transition or melting point, viscosity, dielectric parameters, elastic parameters) is urgently desired.

In addition, the trend in monitor and TV applications is towards ever-shorter response times. The display manufacturers are reducing the response time through the use of displays of smaller layer thickness. At constant optical path length d·Δn, this requires liquid-crystal mixtures of greater Δn. In addition, the use of liquid-crystal mixtures of low rotational viscosity likewise results in a shortening of the response times.

The present invention thus had the object of providing media for MLC, TN or STN displays of this type, preferably for MLC and TN displays and particularly preferably for transmissive TN displays, which do not have the above-mentioned disadvantages or only do so to a reduced extent, and at the same time preferably have very low rotational viscosities γ₁ and relatively high optical anisotropy values Δn. The mixtures according to the invention should preferably find use in transmissive applications.

It has now been found that these objects can be achieved if the media according to the invention are used in displays.

The present invention thus relates to a liquid-crystalline medium based on a mixture of polar compounds of positive or negative dielectric anisotropy which is characterised in that it comprises one or more compounds of the general formula I

in which

-   -   R¹ and R² are each, independently of one another, identically or         differently, H, an alkyl radical having from 1 to 12 carbon         atoms which is unsubstituted, monosubstituted by CN or CF₃ or at         least monosubstituted by halogen, where, in addition, one or         more CH₂ groups in these radicals may each, independently of one         another, be replaced by —O—,     -    —CH═CH—, —C≡C—, —CO—, —CO—O—, —O—CO— or —O—CO—O— in such a way         that O atoms are not linked directly to one another.

The compounds of the formula I have a broad range of applications. These compounds can either serve as base materials of which liquid-crystalline media are predominantly composed, or they can be added to liquid-crystalline base materials from other classes of compound in order, for example, to modify the dielectric and/or optical anisotropy of a dielectric of this type and/or to optimise its threshold voltage and/or its viscosity.

In the case of monosubstitution, the fluorine or chlorine substituent can be in any desired position, but preferably in the ω-position.

Compounds of the formula I which contain wing groups R¹ and/or R² which are suitable for polymerisation reactions are suitable for the preparation of liquid-crystalline polymers.

Compounds of the formula I containing branched wing groups R¹ and/or R² may occasionally be of importance owing to better solubility in the conventional liquid-crystalline base materials, but in particular as chiral dopants if they are optically active. Smectic compounds of this type are suitable as components of ferroelectric materials.

R¹ and/or R² are preferably, independently of one another, identically or differently, H, a straight-chain alkyl radical having from 1 to 9 carbon atoms or a straight-chain alkenyl radical having from 2 to 9 carbon atoms.

The compounds of the formula I are consequently preferably selected from the group consisting of the compounds of the following sub-formulae Ia to Id, where sub-formula la is particularly preferred:

where, in the formulae Ia to Id, the term “alkyl¹” and “alkyl²” in each case, independently of one another, identically or differently, denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 9 carbon atoms, preferably a straight-chain alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and the term “alkenyl¹” and “alkenyl²” in each case, independently of one another, identically or differently, denotes an alkenyl radical having from 2 to 9 carbon atoms, preferably a straight-chain alkenyl radical having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms.

The compounds of the formula I are consequently particularly preferably selected from the group consisting of the compounds of the following sub-formulae I1 to I25:

Particularly preferred compounds from the group consisting of the compounds of the sub-formulae I1 to I25 here are compounds in which the total number of carbon atoms in the two alkyl groups is in the range from 4 to 6. These are the compounds I3 to I5, I7 to I9, I11 to I13, I16, I17 and I21. Particular preference is given here to the sub-formulae I8, I9, I12 and I13.

The liquid-crystalline medium particularly preferably comprises one, two or three compounds of the formula I.

The proportion of compounds of the formula I in the mixture as a whole is from 1 to 60% by weight, preferably from 3 to 50% by weight and particularly preferably either from 3 to 12% by weight (embodiment A) or from 15 to 50% by weight (embodiment B).

The compounds of the formula I are prepared by methods known per se, as described in the literature (for example in the standard works, such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods of Organic Chemistry], Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart), to be precise under reaction conditions which are known and suitable for the said reactions. Use can also be made here of variants which are known per se, but are not mentioned here in greater detail.

The compounds of the formula I are preferably prepared as described in EP 0 132 377 A2.

The present invention also relates to electro-optical display devices (in particular STN or MLC displays having two plane-parallel outer plates, which, together with a frame, form a cell, integrated non-linear elements for switching individual pixels on the outer plates, and a nematic liquid-crystal mixture of positive dielectric anisotropy and high specific resistance which is located in the cell) which contain the media according to the invention, and to the use of these media for electro-optical purposes. Besides reflective applications, the mixtures according to the invention are also suitable for IPS (in plane switching) applications and OCB (optically controlled birefringence) applications.

The liquid-crystal mixtures according to the invention enable a significant widening of the available parameter latitude.

The achievable combinations of rotational viscosity γ₁ and optical anisotropy Δn are far superior to previous materials from the prior art.

The requirement for a high clearing point, nematic phase at low temperature, low rotational viscosity γ₁ and high Δn has hitherto only been achieved to an inadequate extent. Although systems such as, for example, the mixture of Comparative Example 2, which is commercially available from Merck, have similar properties to the mixtures according to the invention, they have, however, significantly worse values for the rotational viscosity γ₁.

Other mixture systems, such as, for example, the mixture of Comparative Example 1, which is commercially available from Merck, have comparable rotational viscosities γ₁, but have significantly worse values for the optical anisotropy Δn.

The liquid-crystal mixtures according to the invention, while retaining the nematic phase down to −20° C., preferably down to −30° C. and particularly preferably down to −40° C., enable clearing points above 65° C., preferably above 70° C. and particularly preferably above 75° C., simultaneously dielectric anisotropy values Δ∈ of ≧4, preferably ≧4.5, and a high value for the specific resistance to be achieved, enabling excellent STN and MLC displays to be obtained. In particular, the mixtures are characterised by low operating voltages. The TN thresholds are below 2.0 V, preferably below 1.9 V and particularly preferably below 1.8 V.

The liquid-crystal mixtures according to the invention have optical anisotropies Δn which, in the case of embodiment A, are preferably ≦0.100 and particularly preferably ≦0.095. In the case of embodiment B, the optical anisotropies are preferably ≧0.160, particularly preferably ≧0.180 and in particular ≧0.200.

It goes without saying that, through a suitable choice of the components of the mixtures according to the invention, it is also possible for higher clearing points to be achieved at higher threshold voltages or lower clearing points to be achieved at lower threshold voltages with retention of the other advantageous properties. At viscosities correspondingly increased only slightly, it is likewise possible to obtain mixtures having greater Δ∈ and thus lower thresholds. The MLC displays according to the invention preferably operate at the first Gooch and Tarry transmission minimum [C. H. Gooch and H. A. Tarry, Electron. Lett. 10, 2-4, 1974; C. H. Gooch and H. A. Tarry, Appl. Phys., Vol. 8, 1575-1584, 1975], where particularly favourable electro-optical properties, such as, for example, high steepness of the characteristic line and low angle dependence of the contrast (German Patent 30 22 818), are achieved. In addition, significantly higher specific resistances can be achieved using the mixtures according to the invention at the first minimum than in the case of mixtures comprising cyano compounds. Through a suitable choice of the individual components and their proportions by weight, the person skilled in the art is able to set the birefringence necessary for a pre-specified layer thickness of the MLC display using simple routine methods.

The rotational viscosity γ₁ of the mixtures according to the invention at 20° C. is preferably ≦180 mPa·s, particularly preferably ≦160 mPa·s. In a specific embodiment (embodiment A), the rotational viscosity γ₁ is particularly preferably ≦80 mPa·s and in particular ≦70 mPa·s. The ratio γ₁ to (Δn)² here is preferably ≦8000, particularly preferably ≦7000. In a specific embodiment (embodiment B), the ratio is particularly preferably ≦5000 and in particular ≦4500. The nematic phase range is preferably at least 90° C. and extends at least from −20° to +70° C.

Measurements of the capacity holding ratio (HR) [S. Matsumoto et al., Liquid Crystals 5, 1320 (1989); K. Niwa et al., Proc. SID Conference, San Francisco, June 1984, p. 304 (1984); G. Weber et al., Liquid Crystals 5, 1381 (1989)] have shown that mixtures according to the invention comprising compounds of the formula I exhibit a significantly smaller decrease in the HR with increasing temperature than analogous mixtures comprising cyanophenylcyclohexanes of the formula

CN or esters of the formula

instead of the compounds of the formula I according to the invention.

The UV stability of the mixtures according to the invention is also considerably better, i.e. they exhibit a significantly smaller decrease in the HR on exposure to UV.

Besides at least one compound of the formula I, the medium according to the invention additionally comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds of the general formulae II to X:

-   -   The medium comprises one or more compounds of the formulae II,         III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and/or X, preferably one or more         compounds of the formulae IIa, IIb, IIc, IIIa, IVa, IVb, Vc,         VIIa, VIIb, VIIIa, VIIIb and/or Xa.     -   The proportion of compounds of the formulae II to X in the         mixture as a whole is from 20 to 70% by weight, preferably from         30 to 60% by weight and particularly preferably from 35 to 55%         by weight.     -   The proportion of compounds of the formulae I to X together in         the mixture as a whole is at least 30% by weight, preferably at         least 40% by weight and particularly preferably at least 50% by         weight.     -   The medium essentially consists of compounds of the formulae I         to X.     -   The I: (II+III+IV+V+VI+VII+VIII+IX+X) weight ratio is preferably         in the range from 1:10 to 10:1.

The optimum mixing ratio of the compounds of the formulae I and II+III+IV+V+VI+VII+VIII+IX+X depends substantially on the desired properties, on the choice of the components of the formulae I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and/or X and on the choice of any other components present. Suitable mixing ratios within the ranges indicated above can easily be determined from case to case.

Besides at least one compound of the formula I and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the general formulae II to X, the medium according to the invention additionally comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds of the general formulae XI to XVII:

in which the individual radicals have the following meanings:

-   -   R¹ and R²: independently of one another, identically or         differently, n-alkyl, n-alkoxy or alkenyl, each having up to 9         carbon atoms; and     -   Z¹ and Z²: independently of one another, identically or         differently, a single bond, —CF₂O—, —OCF₂—, —CH₂O—, —OCH₂—,         —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —CH═CH—, —C₂H₄—, —C₂F₄—, —CH₂CF₂—, —CF₂CH₂— or         —C₄H₈—, preferably each a single bond.

The compound of the formula XI is preferably

in which R¹ and R² can adopt the meanings indicated above. Preferably, however, R¹ is n-alkyl or alkenyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably n-alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or alkenyl having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and R² is alkenyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably alkenyl having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms.

Particularly preferred compounds of the formula XIa are

in which R¹ can adopt the meanings indicated above, but is preferably n-alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

The compounds of the formulae XIa1 and XIa2 are particularly preferred.

The compound of the formula XII is preferably

in which R¹ and R² can adopt the meanings indicated above. Preferably, however, R¹ is n-alkyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably n-alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R² is alkoxy having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably alkoxy having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

The compound of the formula XIII is preferably

in which R¹ and R² can adopt the meanings indicated above. Preferably, however, R¹ is n-alkyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably n-alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R² is alkenyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably alkenyl having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms.

The compound of the formula XV is preferably

in which R¹ and R² can adopt the meanings indicated above. Preferably, however, R¹ is alkenyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably alkenyl having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and R² is n-alkyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably n-alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

Particularly preferred embodiments are indicated below.

-   -   The medium comprises one or more compounds of the formulae XI,         XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI and/or XVII, preferably one or more         compounds of the formulae XIa, XIb, XIIa, XIIIa and/or XVa.     -   The proportion of compounds of the formulae XI to XVII in the         mixture as a whole is from 5 to 70% by weight, preferably from         10 to 60% by weight and particularly preferably either from 10         to 30% by weight (embodiment B) or from 35 to 55% by weight         (embodiment A).     -   The proportion of compounds of the formulae I to XVII together         in the mixture as a whole is at least 50% by weight, preferably         at least 70% by weight and particularly preferably at least 90%         by weight.     -   The medium essentially consists of compounds of the formulae I         to XVII.

The total amount of compounds of the formulae I to XVII in the mixtures according to the invention is not crucial. The mixtures may therefore comprise one or more further components in order to optimise various properties. However, the observed effect on the rotational viscosity and the optical anisotropy is generally greater the higher the total concentration of compounds of the formulae I to XVII.

Furthermore, the medium according to the invention may additionally comprise one or more compounds selected from compounds of the general formula XVIII:

in which R¹ and R² can adopt the meanings indicated above. Preferably, however, R¹ and R² are n-alkyl having up to 9 carbon atoms, particularly preferably n-alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

The proportion of compounds of the formula XVIII in the mixture as a whole can be up to 10% by weight.

In addition, the medium according to the invention may additionally comprise one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds of the general formulae XIX to XXVI:

in which R⁰, X⁰, Y¹, Y², Y³, Y⁴ and Z⁰ each, independently of one another, have one of the meanings indicated above. Preferably, X⁰ is F, Cl, CF₃, OCF₃ or OCHF₂. R⁰ is preferably alkyl, oxaalkyl, fluoroalkyl or alkenyl, each having up to 6 carbon atoms, and Z⁰ is preferably a single bond or —CH₂—CH₂—. Y¹, Y², Y³ and Y⁴ are each, independently of one another, H or F.

The individual compounds of the formulae II to XXVI and their sub-formulae which can be used in the media according to the invention are either known or can be prepared analogously to known compounds.

It has been found that even a relatively small proportion of compounds of the formula I mixed with conventional liquid-crystal materials, but in particular with one or more compounds of the formulae II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and/or X, results in a significant reduction in the rotational viscosity γ₁ and in higher values for the optical anisotropy Δn, enabling shorter response times of the displays to be achieved, with broad nematic phases having low smectic-nematic transition temperatures being observed at the same time, causing an improvement in the storage stability. The compounds of the formulae I to X are colourless, stable and readily miscible with one another and with other liquid-crystal materials. The mixtures according to the invention are furthermore distinguished by very high clearing points.

The construction of the MLC display according to the invention from polarisers, electrode base plates and electrodes having a surface treatment corresponds to the conventional design for displays of this type. The term conventional design here is broadly drawn and also covers all derivatives and modifications of the MLC display, in particular also matrix display elements based on poly-Si TFT or MIM.

An essential difference between the displays according to the invention and the hitherto conventional displays based on the twisted nematic cell consists, however, in the choice of the liquid-crystal parameters of the liquid-crystal layer.

The liquid-crystal mixtures which can be used in accordance with the invention are prepared in a manner conventional per se. In general, the desired amount of the components used in lesser amount is dissolved in the components making up the principal constituent, preferably at elevated temperature. It is also possible to mix solutions of the components in an organic solvent, for example in acetone, chloroform or methanol, and to remove the solvent again, for example by distillation, after mixing.

The dielectrics may also comprise further additives known to the person skilled in the art and described in the literature. For example, from 0 to 15% of pleochroic dyes and/or chiral dopants may be added.

In the present application and in the following examples, the structures of the liquid-crystal compounds are indicated by means of acronyms, with the transformation into chemical formulae taking place in accordance with Tables A and B below. All radicals C_(n)H_(2n+1) and C_(m)H_(2m+1) are straight-chain alkyl radicals having n and m carbon atoms respectively; n and m are preferably 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. The coding in Table B is self-evident. In Table A, only the acronym for the parent structure is indicated. In individual cases, the acronym for the parent structure is followed, separated by a dash, by a code for the substituents R¹, R², L¹ and L².
